A big rig carrying a load of bananas overturned on a Southern California freeway ramp, shutting down lanes for several hours.

California Highway Patrol Officer Monica Posada says the driver of the Freightliner apparently lost control just after 10:30 a.m. Wednesday on the elevated transition ramp from the southbound Interstate 5 to northbound State Route 14 near Santa Clarita.

Nobody was hurt. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.

TV news helicopters showed the truck on its side, with a portion of the trailer hanging over the edge of the elevated roadway.

The transition road was closed for more than four hours while crews cleared the scene.
